Thoughts

Tight grip on my sword
whispers shatter my mind
slash the dark in a straight line
find the dawn of my life
thoughts flutter around me
greedily eats my desire

agony of doubt consumed my dreams
ignorance deceived my sight
pale stars float in the emptiness
crooked wings of fairy tales

many times I've seen a dream 
tonight i give the world my sight
paper and ink will be my knight
hazy visions of the night
help me see the light
words carved in my heart
sky bleeding in my eyes

feather is my soul
ink is my path
paper is my life

Nesma, congratulations !...hope to see your name on the finals! Smart and well organized lines; the music of words is perfect..I can feel the 'strength of rebellion' of your poem ... i liked the 'hazy visions of light/help me see the light' it is a poem by itself. Lovely....Bassam
